Alphabet Workshop



I have seen Alphabet House by Nancy Elizabeth Wallace, an alphabet book with house-hold objects that start with the same letter on a page. So what is different about this book? Its best put in the book description

"Steampunk is fun!
Steampunk is imaginative!
It's making something new out of something old.
It's dressing up in clothing from long ago.
It's inventing machines out of hardware and found objects.
It's creating a make-believe world!"

If you had to tell the behind the scenes workings of alphabets or their nativity story, the Workshop is a good place. The big pictures of the alphabets are fun to watch and decipher what they are made of.
I like the F faucet , J with the trumpet design in it. My daughter keeps asking for the hickory-dickory dock clock in G. while you are on a page identifying the objects that begin with that letter, you can introduce the baby to other interesting objects too.
The mice are cute with their antics.
The book has an artistic quality to it with its mix and match style.
